The Old Rectory | Breech Lane | Walton on the Hill | Surrey KT20 7SD The Old Rectory | Breech Lane | Walton on the Hill | Surrey KT20 7SD I n most English villages there tend to be those one or two houses that break the mould, stand out amongst the crowd and offer a rare living experience. In Walton on the Hill, one of those houses is most certainly The Old Rectory. This substantial, stylish and charming home was, as the name suggests, formerly the village rectory, believed to have been built around 1780. Located in the heart of Walton village, at the end of its own private gated driveway, The Old Rectory sits in grounds of some 1.3 acres, enjoying mainly a south west aspect, with a backdrop of St Peter’s Church being one of many endearing features of this exceptional home. The current owners have painstakingly and sympathetically refurbished the property, whilst also creating a new complex which now forms a recreational space/office, and further play area and a first floor selfcontained one bedroom annexe with its own kitchen and bathroom. Amongst other noteworthy features, are the Smallbone kitchen, wooden floors, cast iron burners, open fireplaces, sash windows, modern bathrooms and styling which is both inviting and complimentary, in a home that now combines the character of its original era with the recently improved aspects that reflect modern standards of living. The outside areas include an outdoor heated swimming pool, a large vine and wisteria covered pergola, a “hidden” Parterre garden with box hedging, rose beds, cypress trees and fountain, sweeping lawns, a variety of old and protected tree species and of course the long private drive which leads from Breech Lane down to wooden private gates and an intercom security system. There is also planning permission for a 3-bay oak framed garage/ wood store. The village of Walton on the Hill is one that offers a quintessential feel and look, with the Mere Pond being at its heart, whilst being surrounded by Walton Heath and served by a number of local traders and a local store. With three pubs, two restaurants, two hair salons, a tea room overlooking the pond, a highly sought after primary school, two churches, not forgetting Walton Heath Golf Club and much more besides, the village has much to offer. And if Walton can’t offer it, there is every likelihood that the nearby villages of Tadworth, Banstead and Kingswood, as well as the towns of Reigate and Epsom, will be able to provide. Local schooling and recreational facilities are in abundance and the area has long been popular with commuters and travellers alike, with a number of mainline stations within either a walk or short drive from the village, and of course the M25 motorway which is accessed at either junction 8 or 9.
